POP-COOLER.

i Specification of Letters-Patent.

Application led July 6, 1911-. Serial N o. 637,062.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN H. GAREY, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Davenport, in thecounty of Thayer and 'State of- Nebraska, have invented a new and Improved Pop-Cooler, of which the followingI is a full, clear, and exact description.

My invention relates to improvements in devices for keeping cool pop, sodaf Water, ginger ale and other beverages and has for its object to'provide a device which shall be simple, cheap and eflicient and one in which the beverage to be dispensed can be readily cooled and conveniently handled.

My invent-ion consists in certain novel features of construction, arrangement and combination of parts as will be hereinafter fully describedand pointed out in the claims, reference being had to the accompanying drawing in' which- Figure l is a top plan View of my improvement made in circular form; Fig. 2 is a vertical section ofthis form; Fig` 3 is a horizontal section of this form; Fig. 4' is aview partly in section lof a bottle tray; Fig. 5 is a perspective view of one form of bottle tray.

Inccarrying out my invent-ion I use preferably a form of'device which comprises a circular receptacle T having an annular dead air space T and a central circular chamber U. having perforated walls Within which chamber is ,placed the ice and ice Water. Between the perforated central chamber U and the dead air space are vert-ical walls or partitions U rigidly secured to each dividing the space between the central chamber and the dead air space into a number of vertical compartments in which are to be placed the bottleholding trays U2, said'trays having "at one end the segmental pieces U3 which form lids or covers for the space to contain `the bottles, each lid having a handle a by which the 'trays may be withdrawn when it is desired to getav bottle out of the tray, the trays also having their. saidjlower Walls u slightly inclined so as to-connethe bottles in the trays and prevent them accidentally slipping out.- The central chamber U has ahandled removable cover. U4'by means o-f 'which the refrigerantlmay' be placed in said chamber.

As shown in Fig. 2 a removable shelf U5 may be placed in the' central chamber U upon which-maybe placed crushed ice or 'kept completely Patented Mal.A 26,1912.

vanything that it may be. desiredt to keep i The trays used `may be of the form shown or they maybe of any suit-able construction.

It'will thus `be seen that I provide a device whereby bottles of pop or other beverages or liquids may be kept'cool and' may be conveniently and quickly gotten at Without putting hands into water or into ice.

By the use of my improvement, the pop or evt-herl liquid may be kept much colder are 'placed on 'trays orin separate compartments, as in my device the bottles can be V submerged' in ice Water until ready for use.

Inmy improved vcoolers either dead `air spaces or non-conducting fillings may be used. v

than is possible in devices where the bottles:

lThe namesl of the flavors Iusedare to be'l painted or labeled on the lid U3.,

,. The capacity of my improved device is much greater used.' c I claim 1. A cooler for bottled liquids, consisting than the devices commonly of a receptacle, a refrigerant chamber within the receptacle, a bottle receiving chamber4 separated from the refrigerant chamberby a. foraminous partition, and removable bottle containing trays adaptedto be introduced into the bottle receiving chamber. 2. A cooler for bottled` liquids consisting of a receptacle, a central refrigerant chamber surrounded by foraminous, Walls, bottle receiving chambers surrounding y.said central chamber, bottle carrying trays adapted toV be introduced' into the bottle chambers, and

means fo-r covering each of thechamber's.

3. A cooler forbottled liquids consisting of `a circular receptacle, a vcentral ci-rcular refrigerant chamber surrounded by a foramlinous wall, bottle carrying trays adapted to be inserted in the space .between the central chamber and the outer wall of lthe recep tacle, segmenta-ldflanges securedto one e'nd of the bottle trays, said segments adapted Yto forml air tight covers for the bottle tra #1165 space.

4., A cooler of a circular, heat-insulated receptacle, a central circular refrigerant chamber therein surrounded by a foraminous Wall, radial partitions between the central' chamber and yfor bottled liquids consisting compartments, bottle carrying trays adapted to be inserted in said upright compartments, the upper ends of the bottle trays having segmental overhanging flanges adapted to cover the upper open end of the compartments, the segments fitting together to form a circular cover for the several compartments, and a removable cover for the central circular chamber.

5. A cooler for bottled liquids comprising a receptacle ,having a chamber to contain Water and ice, a chamber to receive bottles therein, a bottle receiving compartment therein, a foraminous partition separating said chambers, and a detachable shel'f sup-` 20 ported in the ice and Water chamber.
